What is the best field charger / battery recycler to use for Tx / Rx batteries (maybe include Ni stater batteries). Does it depend on brand of radio?

Most any NiCad fast field charger works fine for field use. I am using the Hobbico Fast Field Charger that seems to work fine. I bought a GloBee for my NiStarter.

For cycling, IMHO, the AccuCycle Plus works very nicely.

Hope this helps,

Field Charger

I use the Hangar 9 "Double Vision." It will peak charge both JR and Futaba batteries using the attached universal leads. You just select the brand of TX that you have with a switch on the face of the charger.

On the face of the unit is a "Dummy" glowplug that you attach your glow plug battery to for charging. In addition, the charger cannot be hooked up backwards , and can charge a Rx pack, a Tx pack, AND your Glow plug battery at the same time!

I think it's a steal at about $55.

This is a great charger, will do NiCad and NiMh (even Pb field battery).

Will charge / cycle any pack from 1 to 25 cells, delivers up to 5A. That's plenty.

I'm not saying other chargers are bad, but that one is worthing checking. I think price is right too.

Excellent review of this product available at The R/C Battery Clinic
http://www.rcbatteryclinic.com/nova.htm

Available from FMA direct, as well as other sources.

I have the Serius and love it except that it cannot do large NiMh packs. I called them and they said if I sent it to them and $35, they would upgrade it to work. I am excited about this, and I suggest people consider this from the get-go. I have a 2700 NiMh pack that weighs less than my 1800 NiCad.

thats funny. I sent mine in a couple of months
ago and the upgrade was $25.

They double the output power and the max
charge and add a small fan and some
standoffs (industrial drawer pulls)
